Cesium and iodine release from fluoride-based molten salt reactor fuel.

Cesium and iodine, which are formed during a fission process in a nuclear reactor, are considered as major fission products responsible for the environmental burden in case of a nuclear accident. From the safety point of view, it is thus important to understand their release mechanism when overheating of the reactor core occurs. This work presents an experimental investigation of the behaviour of caesium iodide and caesium fluoride in fluoride based molten salt reactor fuel during high temperature events.

Sorption of americium / europium onto magnetite under saline conditions: Batch experiments, surface complexation modelling and X-ray absorption spectroscopy study.

Hypothesis: This study investigates the adsorption of americium and its chemical analogue europium on magnetite, which is expected to form as a major long-term steel canister corrosion product under anoxic and highly saline conditions.

Experiments: The sorption of europium on magnetite (solid/liquid ratio = 0.5 g/L) was investigated batch wise in NaCl brines with ionic strength I = 1 m, 3.
